Step up to a Sharp picture

Sharp continues to focus its LCD expertise on truly large TV screens — 60" and bigger. A great example is the LC-60LE857U, their top-of-the-line 60" model for 2013.

A big picture that's big on clarity and color

Producing a smooth, clear picture that pops gets tougher as screen size gets bigger, but Sharp has all the right technology. The LC-60LE857U is a great choice for use in rooms with lots of light — like when you're watching an afternoon ballgame. Sharp's Super Bright™ panel is 50% brighter than the screen on their next best 60" model, the LC-60LE757U.

This is a 3D TV, and as you'd expect, 3D material looks spectacular on this big screen — you really feel like you're in a theater. Of course, this TV also produces an impressive picture with 2D sources, which, after all, is what most of us watch most of the time.

This is one Smart TV

The LC-60LE857U's has features and capabilities that are similar to other Wi-Fi-equipped Smart TVs, plus a couple of cool extras. Sharp's intuitive SmartCentral™ interface lets you quickly connect to your home's network for more entertainment choices. Stream movies and TV shows from Netflix®, indulge in video snacking at YouTube®, and keep the music flowing with Rhapsody® and Pandora® Internet radio. Here's a feature we haven't seen before: the ability to display a split-screen view with a video source and web streaming. Makes it easy to surf the web while you watch TV.

AQUOS LED-Edge Lit 1080P Display: The AQUOS LED-Edge Lit 1080p Display with advanced
pixel structure brings you breathtaking HD images. Using photo-alignment
technology that's precision crafted to let more light through in bright scenes
and shut more light out in dark scenes, the AQUOS LED-Edge Lit 1080p Display with a
10,000,000:1 contrast ratio, creates a picture so real you can see the
difference

Quattron Color Technology: Quattron Color Technology enables the display to
reproduce colors that have been difficult to portray using conventional LCD
displays. Sharp's proprietary Quattron Color Technology, a 4-color filter that adds
yellow to the traditional RGB, enables a vast array of colors to be displayed.
The four-primary-color display employs a four color filter for the first time in
the industry, that adds the color Y (yellow) to the three colors of R (Red), G
(Green) and B (Blue). This combination expands the color gamut; faithfully
rendering nearly all colors that can be discerned with the unaided human eye.

Full HD 1080p (1920 x 1080) Resolution: The
LED-LCD television

jacks will accept 1080p (24/60Hz), 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i signals. The
HDMI inputs can be used to connect a Blu-ray/DVD player, satellite/cable
box, Game console, and a MHL-compatible smartphone. Any HDMI can also be used to connect a PC to this TV.
The HDMI 2 input can be used to connect a device with a DVI output (a DVI-to-HDMI adapter
cable is necessary). If a DVI-equipped device is used, a separate audio
cable will also be needed from the device to the shared PC stereo minijack
audio input.

MHL Compatible: The HDMI 4 input is MHL compatible and
designed for the connection of select mobile phones and other portable
electronic devices. Simply plug your MHL compatible smartphone into the TV's
HDMI 4 port using the HDMI cable that is included with your mobile phone. MHL
allows you to display full 1080p video and still images on the Sharp TV from your
mobile smartphone. The TV's IR remote can be used to control basic playback
functions (such as Play/Pause, Stop Fast Forward/Rewind, and Menu navigation).

port. To find MHL-certified devices, go to
www.mhlconsortium.org.

sold separately) to make a stereo RCA connection between the television and
your soundbar speaker or AV receiver. The TV's analog audio output terminals
will output 2ch audio from any of the television's source inputs.

ARC (Audio Return Channel) Function: The Audio Return
Channel in HDMI 1.4 enables the TV, via a single HDMI cable, to send audio data
"upstream" to your A/V receiver; increasing user flexibility and eliminating the
need for any separate S/PDIF audio connection. This feature allows audio to be
sent from the television to your A/V receiver through the same HDMI cable
already being used to send audio/video to the television. This eliminates the
need for extra cables connected to the TV. ARC allows audio from the TV tuner,
Network connection, inserted USB device, HDMI inputs, or any analog connected
device to be heard through your ARC compatible AV receiver via the television's
HDMI ARC input. The audio from the TV's tuner, network connection, and USB port
can pass as Dolby Digital or 2ch PCM. HDMI and analog connected devices will be
output as 2ch PCM only.

Note: Both the television and the receiver must support ARC
for this function to work properly. When connecting an A/V receiver that is
compatible with Audio Return Channel (ARC), connect it to the TV's HDMI 1
input. If connecting a system that is incompatible Audio Return Channel
(ARC), an additional audio connection via Digital Audio Out (Optical) is
necessary.

Full of features

Fairly easy set up right out of the box. Very pleased with the physical design. This TV has many features and settings. If you want to get that absolutely perfect picture the setting definitely allow you to do so.

Pros:Smart central apps are not bad compared to other smart TVs. This TV does a better job converting 2D to 3D than almost every other active 3D sets I've seen. Even when viewing lower resolution video files or SD cable channels this TV makes everything as beautiful as it can be. I am very happy with what this TV had to offer.

Cons:Not really a con ,but the home DLNA feature could be visually nicer. It works fine and is fast and responsive ,but it would be nice to see things like movie poster art and synopsis. Maybe an update or smart central app could add something like that in the future.

Sharp LC-60LE857U

Amazing picture. This TV has exceeded my expectations. This LED set is much brighter than my old LCD (Sharp 60"). The viewing angle is wider also. Blu-ray's are super crisp (haven't tried 3D yet). I really didn't need a new TV, but I don't regret this purchase even slightly.

Sharp LC-60LE857U

I have owned plasma displays for the past 13 years. I'm not a big fan of LCD. Overall I think this is a nice set and most people would be very happy with it. The high end plasma manufactures seem to be going out of business, first Pioneer then Panasonic. Having owned both, I miss the Plasma. The Sharp can be adjusted to the point of a really nice picture that we all can enjoy as long as you are relatively head on. Moving off center offers less and less contrast the further off center you go. That may not be a bother to some, but it seems to me that it happens to quickly. I have two other LCD televisions in other rooms, both are older and smaller and can't compare with this Sharp. This set is far and away better in all aspects of picture quality. I shopped long and hard before deciding on this set. If you are looking for an LCD LED Edge lit display in the 60" range, then quit looking and buy this one from MR. Crutchfield. It is a real nice set and Crutchfield is good people. Enjoy

Pros:Color, brightness, black level, build quality, adjustability

Cons:quality of picture as you move off center. This may be common among all LCD displays.
